CIRCULAR  TO  THE  PROPRIETORS  OF  NURSERIES. 

In  addition  to  the  Trees,  Shrubbery,  etc.,  of  all  kinds  enumerated  in  our 
Catalogues,  which  are  ottered  to  you  of  the  usual  size  at  a  liberal  discount  from 
the  regular  prices,  we  have  on  hand  a  very  large  stock  of  less  size,  from  one 
year's  growth  upwards,  which  we  will  sell  at  diminished  rates  in  proportion 
thereto.  Where  the  quantity  taken  is  large,  and  not  less  than  12,  or  at  the 
least  6  of  any  one  kind,  the  proportionate  trouble  being  thereby  lessened,  the 
prices  will  be  put  at  the  lowest  rates.  The  same  arrangement  will  be  applied  to 
all  articles  in  the  other  Nursery  departments,  and  a  Catalogue  rated  according  to 
frize  and  quantity  will  be  sent  to  applicants.  Copious  remarks  on  every  point 
connected  with  the  transactions  of  our  business  are  attached  to  the  Catalogue 
of  Fruits. 

PRICES  OF  THE  VARIOUS  ARTICLES. 

It  is  well  known  that  there  exists  a  considerable  variation  in  the  prices  charged 
at  the  different  Nurseries  of  the  Union,  and  it  is  the  determination  of  the 
Proprietors  of  this  Establishment  to  supply  all  articles  as  cheap,  and  in  most 
cases  much  cheaper  than  they  are  obtainable  elsewhere.  It  should  nevertheless 
be  understood  that  a  similarity  or  diminution  in  price  does  not  in  all  cases  con- 
stitute cheapness.  The  fii'st  question  to  be  considered  by  the  purchaser  is  the 
genuineness  of  the  articles,  and  this  especially  applies  to  Fruits,  and  to  the  most 
rare  and  valuable  Flowering  Shrubs  and  Plants.  The  second  question  should 
refer  to  the  size  and  vigor  of  the  respective  Trees  and  Plants,  there  being  an 
important  difference  to  the  purchaser  vv^hether  these  are  vv^ell  grown  and  of  proper 
size,  or  on  the  other  hand  mere  offsets  or  small  specimens.  It  is  in  these  highly 
important  points  that  this  ancient  Establishment  possesses  preeminent  advan- 
tages, derived  from  the  abundant  stock  of  strong  and  well-grown  Trees  and 
Shrubbery,  and  also  from  the  opportuniiies  vvhich  time  and  investigation  have 
afforded  for  proving  the  accuracy  and  excellence  of  the  Fruits,  and  the  beauty 
and  value  of  the  Ornamental  Shrubs,  etc.  We  have  only  further  to  say  that  it  is 
our  determination  that  those  who  may  deal  extensively  with  us,  shall  find  it  to-, 
their  interest  to  do  so,  as  well  in  regard  to  the  prices  charged,  as  in  many  other 
important  particulars. 

REMARKS  ON  THE  DAHLIA. 

It  may  be  asserted  without  fear  of  contradiction,  that  at  no  period  since  the 
era  of  the  famed  Tulipo-mania,  has  the  attention  of  the  votaries  of  Flora  been 
so  universally  devoted  to  any  flower  as  it  now  is  to  the  Dahlia,  the  "Glory  of 
the  Autumn."     To  the  varieties  first  cultivated,  the  objection  was  justly  made 
that  the  expansion  of  their  flowers  commenced  too  late  in  the  season  to  merit 
much  estimation,  but  culture  and  judicious  propagation  have  removed  this  diffi- 
culty as  regards  the  new  varieties.     These  commence  blooip.ing  the  middle  Oj 
June,  and  continue  until  arrested  by  frost,  our  fine  American  autumn  beir 
particularly  favorable  to  their  development.     The  new  varieties  produce  also 
much  greater  profusion  of  flowers  than  the  older  sorts.    This  magnificent  plai 
therefore,  ranks  in  splendor  and  diversity  of  form  with  the  far-famed  Tulip  ar. 
the  Rose.    Many  of  the  varieties  are  inconceivably  beautiful  and  interesting, 
and  there  seems  a  never-ending  variation  of  color  and  form. 

The  numerous  varieties  combine  the  richest  shades  and  most  varied  hues  of 
which  nature  is  susceptible,  with  every  diversity  in  shape  and  magnitude,  from 
the  size  of  a  small  globe  an  inch  and  a  half  in  diameter,  to  an  expanded  disk 
twenty-four  inches  in  circumference  ! 

Rivalling  as  they  do  all  other  plants  of  the  garden  in  their  majestic  appearance! 
and  gorgeous  display,  they  also  combine  the  merit  of  facility  of  culture  to  such  a 
degree,  that  the  most  ignorant  can  scarcely  fail  of  success  ;  and,  indeed,  the  day 
]^  not  distant,  when  the  number  of  varieties  will  surpass  that  of  either  the 
Hyacintii,  the  Tulip,  the  Rose,  or  the  Carnation,  and  the  numerous  Striped, 
variegated,  and  Mottled  Dahlias,  will  then  be  designated  under  the  various 
classes  of  Flakes,  Bizarres,  etc,  in  the  same  manner  as  the  Carnation  j  the 
connoisceurs,  without  doubt,  becoming  quite  as  fastidious  in  regard  to  the  form-* 
ation  and  color  of  the  petals,  as  they  now  are  in  respect  to  the  last  named  flower.

CATALOGUE  OF 

SPLENDID  DOUBLE  DAHLIAS,  &G. 

CAUTION.— All  orders  must  be  directed  with  precision  to  Wm.  R. 
Prince  &  Co.,  Flushing,  by  mail,  or  left  at  the  office,  23  Pine  St.,  New  Yort?, 
and  no  other  person  whatever  is  authorised  to  receive  prders  for  us  in  New  York. 

The  present  magnificent  and  unrivalled  Collection  of  Dahlias  comprises,  as  will 
be  perceived  on  investigation,  the  most  splendid  varieties  of  every  class  that  have 
yet  appeared  in  Europe  or  America,  many  of  which  have  been  imported  at  an 
expense  of  three  to  five  guineas  each,  and  the  dry  roots  were  only  obtained  in  time 
for  this  spring's  propagation  by  special  favor.  Above  100  of  the  most  rare  varieties 
are  not  in  any  other  American  Collection. 

The  plants  are  deliverable  in  pots  during  the  months  of  May  and  June.  Dry 
roots  are  deliverable  from  the  first  of  October  to  the  first  of  May,  but  to  ensure 
a  supply  of  all  that  are  wanted,  the  orders  should  be  forwarded  in  good  season. 
Plants  of  both  descriptions  can  be  packed  for  safe  transmission  to  any  part  of  the 
Union.  In  arranging  the  nomenclature,  the  name  of  the  original  grower  is 
inserted  after  the  name  of  each  variety  and  is  printed  in  italics.  In  planting,  let 
the  soil  be  moderately  rich  and  well  worked.  Turn  the  plants  out  of  the  pots 
and  plant  them  in  the  open  ground  as  soon  as  received.  Take  the  roots  up  in 
^utumn  as  soon  as  the  tops  are  dead,  dry  them  a  few  days,  and  then  pack  them 
,m  sand  and  place  them  in  a  cellar  for  the  winter-  In  respect  to  prices,  it  is  the 
.  letermination  of  the  proprietors  to  supply  their  patrons  on  the  most  lavorable 
jterms,  and  they  will  perceive  on  examination  that  the  prices  named  are  much 
Delow  those  usually  charged.  Where  an  order  is  sent  for  a  considerable  amount, 
a  discount  will  be  made  in  proportion  thereto.  The  packages  will  be  delivered 
at  23  Pine  street.  New  York,  or  shipped  to  any  place  designated.

FLOWBHS, 

OF    THE    MOST   CHOICE    AND    SPLENDID    VARIETIES, 

In  addition  to  the  immense  stock  under  cultivation  in  the  establishment,  the 
proprietors  make  very  large  annual  importations  of  the  choicest  new  varieties 
from  Europe.  The  following  have  been  selected  with  great  care  from  th6 
finest  foreign  collections,  and  are  renriarkable  for  their  size,  beauty,  and 
peculiarity,  and  for  the  delicacy  of  their  tints.  In  the  selection  no  expense 
has  been  spared,  and  great  exertions  and  large  disbursements  have  been  made, 
in  order  to  obtain  the  most  beautiful  varieties  of  every  class.  It  can,  there- 
fore, with  the  utmost  confidence  be  asserted,  that  this  collection  is  unrivalled 
in  extent  and  variety.  The  whole  are  cultivated  under  the  same  names  by 
which  they  were  imported,  and  the  prices  are  greatly  reduced,  and  are  lower  than 
have  ever  before  been  offered  lo  the  public,  the  great  increase  of  our  stock  enabling 
us  to  tender  this  advantage  to  purchasers.  Those  who  purchase  to  re-vend, 
will  be  dealt  with  on  the  most  reasonable  terms  ;  and  where  no  wholesale 
prices  are  named,  a  deduction  of  25  per  cent,  will  be  made  from  the  retail 
prices. 

Orders  for  Bulbous  roots  should  be  forwarded  from  September  to  December, 
inclusive.  In  open  winters  they  may  be  planted  at  any  time  when  the  ground 
is  workable,  and  the  bulbs  have  not  grown  too  much. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  present  Catalogue  the  necessary  directions  are  given  for 
their  culture,  etc. 

V/here  the  prices  are  by  assortment,  or  by  the  dozen,  the  selection  of  the  varieties 
is  to  be  made  by  the  pr9prietors ;  but  if  applicants  will  name  such  as  they 
already  possess,  those  varieties  will  be  omitted  in  the  selection. 

*  denotes  the  earliest  varieties,  most  proper  for  blooming  in  glasses  or  pots. 

t  denotes  those  that  are  tender.

SINGLE  HYACINTHS. 

In  regard  to  Single  Hyacinths  an  incorrect  prejudice  exists,  arising  from  the 
fact  that  their  peculiar  merits  are  but  little  known.  For  early  flowering,  and 
particularly  for  glasses  or  pots,  they  are  extremely  desirable  ;  they  combine  the 
most  brilliant  colors,  and  surpass  "the  double  varieties  in  the  profusion  of  their 
bells.    It  may  ia  fact  be  said  that  they  precede  the  double  varieties,  and  thus  in

a  general  collection  extend  the  period  during  which  we  may  enjoy  the  beautiesr

Parrot  Tulips. 
The  flowers  of  these  have  feathered 
edges,  and  in  addition  to  various 
other  colors,  some  of  them  combine 
shades  of  green,  which  no  other 
tulips  dii; — Irom  these  circumstances

DIRECTIONS  FOR  THE  CULTURE  OF  BULBOUS  AND  TUBEROUS  ROOTS. 

Situation. — A  southern  aspect,  dry  and  airy,  and  sheltered  from  the  north 
winds,  is  preferable  for  most  bulbs ;  but  Anemones  and  Ranunculuses  will  do 
better  in  a  situation  commanding  a  southern  aspect,  and  vrhich  can  be  protected 
from  the  heat  of  noonday. 

Soil.— The  following  compost  is  most  suitable  for  the  Hyacinth,  Tulip,  Crown 
Imperial,  Narcissus,  Crocus,  Snow  Flake,  Iris,  Lily,  Colchicum,  Anemone, 
Ranunculus,  Snow  Drop,  and  most  other  bulbs : — One-third  sand,  one-third  well- 
rotted  cow-dang,  and  one-third  good  garden  mould.  "  Let  the  beds  thus  formed  be 
well  dug  over  to  the  depth  of  fifteen  or  eighteen  inches,  that  the  materials  be  well 
mixed  together ;  a  fourth  part  of  rotten  wood,  or  vegetable  mould  from  a  swamp, 
rnay  be  added  to  the  above^  if  conveniently  to  be  obtained,  which  will,  at  all 
times,  be  beneficial  in  giving  additional  lightness  to  the  soil. 

The  various  species  of  the  Amaryllis  succeed  best  in  a  rich  sandy  loam  ;  and 
the  families  of  the  Ixia,  Oxalis,  Feraria,  Gladiolus,  Antholyza,  Lachenalia,  and 
most  other  Cape  and  Tropical  bulbs,  require  the  soil  to  be  more  sandy  than  for 
the  generality  of  other  bulbs. 

Forming  the  Beds.— The  beds  should  be  raised  about  four  inches  above  the  level 
of  the  vvalks,  and  moderately  arched,  which  will  afford  an  opportunity  for  the 
superfluous  moisture  to  run  off.  Sand  (either  sea  or  fresh)  strewed  in  the  trenches, 
before  and  after  placing  the  roots,  will  be  beneficial. 

Time  of  Planting.— For  the  Hyacinth,  Tulip,  Crown  Imperial,  Squill,  Lily, 
Polyanthus  Narcissus,  Double  Narcissus,  Jonquil,  Iris,  Crocus,  Colchicum,  Star 
of  Bethlehem,  Snow  Drop,  Snow  Flake,  Gladiolus,  Allium,  and  most  other 
hardy  bulbs,  the  preferable  season  for  planting  is  the  months  of  October  and 
November— and  it  is  well  to  be  observed,  that  the  species  of  bulbs  above  named, 
(Tulips  excepted,)  will  thrive  best  if  not  taken  from  the  ground  oftener  than 
ever>'  second  or  third  year.  The  different  species  of  the  Feraria,  Antholyza,  Ixia. 
Crmum,  Heemanthus,  Eucomis,  the  tender  species  of  Amaryllis,  Pancratium,  and 
Gladiolus,  and  most  other  delicate  bulbs,  may  be  planted  during  the  months  of 
November  and  December,  in  pots,  when  intended  to  be  sheltered  during  the 
wmter,  or  they  can  be  kept  in  dry  sand  until  April  or  May,  and  then  be  planted 


28 

in  pots,  or  in  the  open  ground,  when  it  has  become  free  from  frost,  and  perfectly- 
settled. 

iJep/.h  and  Distance. — Hyacinths,  Persian  Fritillary,  Martagon,  and  other  Lilies, 
and  Paeonies,  should  be  planted  at  the  depvth  of  four  inches;  Crown  Imperials- 
and  Polyanthus  Narcissus,  five  inches ;  Tulips,  Double  and  Single  Narcissus, 
Jonquils,  Colchicums,  Snow  Flakes,  Bulbous  Iris,  and  Gladiolus,  three  inches; 
Crocus,  Arums,  Small  Fritillaries,  and  Snow  Drops,  two  inches;  Kanunculus 
and  Anemone,  one  and  a  half  inches  ;  Dogstooth  Violet,  one  inch  ;  always 
measuring  from  the  top  of  the  bulb;  The  rows  should  be  ten  inches  apart,  and 
the  roots  be  placed  from  four  to  six  inches  apart  in  rows,  according  to  their  size. 

Protection  during  Winter. — In  the  Middle  and  Northern  States,  it  will  on  the 
approach  of  winter,  be  beneficial,  though  not  absolutely  necessary,  to  cover  the 
beds  with  straw,  tanners'  bark,  withered  leaves,  or  light  earth  from  the  woods, 
(such  as  is  formed  by  the  decay  of  foliage,)  to  the  depth  of  two  or  three  inches, 
as  it  prevents  any  ill  effects  which  a  very  severe  season  rnight  have  upon  the 
roots.  This  covering  must  be  carefully  raked  off  early  in  the  spring.  The 
Polyanthus  Narcissus,  Hoop  Petticoat  Narcissus,  and  Arum  Dracunculus,  being" - 
more  tender  than  other  species,  require  a  covering  of  five  or  six  inches  of  straw 
or  leaves  in  the  manner  above  detailed. 

Taking  up  Bulbs  after  Flowering. — About  a  month  after  the  bloom  is  passed, 
the  foliage  puts  on  a  yellow  decayed  appearance.  This  is  the  proper  season  for 
taking  up  the  roots  ;  on  doing  which,  the  stem  and  foliage  should  be  cut  off 
within  an  inch  of  the  bulb,  leaving  the  fibrous  roots  attached  to  it.  After  this 
preparation,  spread  them  singly  in  an  airy  room  to  dry,  for  two  or  three  vi-eeks, 
then  wrap  each  root  carefully  in  paper,  (the  air  being  injurious,)  or  put  them  in 
dry  sand,  until  replanted. 

Anemone  and  Ranunculus. — The  soil  should  be  compact  and  rich,  not  light  or 
sandy.  A  stiff  loamy  soil  suits  them  very  vv'ell ;  and  with  it  there  should  be 
mixed  one  fourth  part  of  rotten  manure,  and,  in  doing  this,  the  earth  ought  to  be 
well  pulverized.  In  England  they  are  planted  about  the  10th  of  February  ;  and 
here  they  may  with  success  be  planted  as  early  in  the  spring  as  the  ground  can 
be  worked.  We  have  had  them  to  succeed  well  when  planted  at  the  end  of 
October,  or  early  in  November,  and  protected  during  the  winter  with  a  covering 
of  straw  and  leaves,  which  was  removed  early  in  the  spring.  They  will  bear  a 
considerable  degree  of  cold,  but  our  intense  frosts  destroy  them  when  not  pro- 
tected as  above.  They  require  a  moist  soil,  but  not  over  much  so.  Heavy  rains 
injure  and  rot  them;  and  the  ground  selected  should  be  such  as  does  not  retain 
water  and  become  sodden.  In  dry  weather,  they  will  require  frequent  waterings. 
When  the  roots  are  taken  up  after  blooming,  they  should  be  preserved  in  dry 
sand  till  replanted. 

Culture  of  Tender  Bulbs  in  pots,  comprising  the  Oxalis,  Lachenalia,  Txia, 
Gladiolus,  Antho'yza,  etc.  etc. — The  management  of  these  is  extremely  simple. 
They  should  have  as  much  light,  sun,  and  air,  as  possible,  and  be  kept  free  from 
frost.  When  the  foliage  is  past,  and  ^he  roots  consequently  in  a  dormant  state, 
they  can  be  either  left  in  the  pots,  in  a  dry  situation,  without  watering,  or 
be  taken  out  and  wrapped  in  paper,  or  packed  in  sand  till  the  ensuing  season, 
at  which  period'  they  should  be  repotted  in  fresh  soil,  composed  as  already 
detailed. 

Cidture  of  the  Amaryllis  and;  Tuberose.^The  Amaryllis  longifolia,  (both  rose 
colored  and  white,)  is  extremely  magnificent,  and  will  support  our  winters  by 
planting  the  roots  at  the  depth  of  six  inches  from  the  extremity  of  the  neck  of  the 
bulb.  A  southern  exposure  is  much  to  be  preferred,  the  warmer  the  better. 
They  will  also  flourish  admirably  if  planted  in  a  pond  below  the  point  of  congela- 
tion. The  Amaryllis  Formosissima,  vitata,  aurea,  belladona,  equestris,  double 
and  single,  reginae,  psittacina,  Johnsoni,  gigantea,  ignescens,  and  all  the  other 
spring,  summer,  and  autumn  flowering  species  may,  if  preferred,  be  preserved 
during  winter  in  boxes  of  dry  sand,  and  planted  out  in  the  open  garden  at  the  end 
of  April,  or  beginning  of  May,  in  a  rich  sandy  loam,  where  they  will  bloom  with 
the  utmost  splendor.  The  different  species  of  Zephyranthes,  Crinum,  and 
Pancratium,  will  succeed  admirably  by  the  same  course  of  culture.  In  planting 
the  above-named  roots,  place  the  bulb  so  that  one-third  of  its  diameter  will  be 
above  the  surface  of  the  ground.  This  is  to  apply  to  all,  except  the  Amaryllis 
formosissima  or  Jacobean  Lily,  which  should  have  the  bulb  covered,  leaving, 
the  neck  only  to  project  above  the  surface  of  the  ground.  Tuberoses,  and  the 
Feraria  tygridia,  or  Tiger  flower,  should  be  planted  at  the  depth  of  one  inch,  the 
numerous  offsets  on  the  former  being  first  broken  off  to  prevent  their  impoverish 


29 

tng  the  main  root  and  arresting  the  bloom.  The  doriblc  and  striped  leaved' 
Tuberoses  are  greatly  admired;  the  latter  of  these^  and  the  Common  Single- 
flowering,  are  more  certain  in  their  bloom  than  the  double  variety.  The  species 
of  Feraria  are  exceedingly  beautiful,  and  therefore  much  admired. 

Hyacinths  and  othet  Bulbs  in  pots  or  glasses  for  winter  blooming. — For  this 
purpose  Single  Hyacinths,  and  those  de^^ignated  as  earliest  among  the^  Double, 
are  to  be  preferred.  The  Polyanthus  Narcissus,  Italian,  or  .Roman  Narcissus, 
Double  Narcissus,  Double  and  Single  Jonquils,  Persian  Iris,  Crocus,  the  vi'inter 
and  spring  flovvering  varieties  of  the  Cyclamen,  and  the  Double  and  Single  Duke 
van  Thol  Tulips,  make  also  a  fine  appearance  during  the  winter  season.  Bulbs 
intended  for  blooming  in  pots  during  the  winter,  should  be  planted  during  the 
months  of  October  and  November,  and  left  exposed  to  the  open  air  until  the 
ground  begins  to  freeze,  when  they  should  be  removed  to  the  Greenhouse  or  to 
a  warm  room.  They  will  need  occasionally  moderate  waterings  before  they 
begin  to  vegetate,  and  when  they  attain  to  a  growing  state  should  receive  a 
plentiful  supply  by  pouring  it  into  the  saucers.  They  should  at  all  times  be 
exposed  as  much  as  possible  to  the  sun,  air,  and  light,  to  prevent  their  foliage 
from  growing  too  long,  or  becoming  of  a  yellow  hue.  Bulbs  cultivated  after  this 
manner  will  mostly  bloom  in  January,  and  next  to  the  Hyacinth,  the  Polyanthus 
Narcissus,  and  Double  Italian,  or  Roman  Narcissus,  may  be  ranked  among  the 
most  desirable  for  beauty,  fragrance,  and  easy  culture. 

Those  intended  for  glasses  should  be  placed  in  them  about  the  middle  of 
November,  the  glasses  being  previously  filled  with  pure  water,  so  that  the  bottom 
of  the  bulb  may  just  touch  the  water  :  then  place  them  for  the  first  ten  days  in  a 
dark  room,  to  promote  the  shooting  of  the  roots,  after  which  expose  them  to  the 
sun  and  light  as  much  as  possible.  They  will  bloom,  however,  with  little  or  no 
sun,  but  the  flowers  will  be  inferior  in  color.  The  water  should  be  changed  as 
often  as  it  becomes  impure,,  at  which  period  the  roots  ought  to  be  drawn  entirely 
out  of  the  glasses  and  rinsed  in  clean  water,  the  glasses  being  at  the  same  time 
well  washed  inside.  Rain  or  soft  water  is  preferable  to  that  termed  hard,  but 
either  will  answer  the  purpose,  provided  it  be  perfectly  clear.  Bulbs  that  have 
been  forced  are  of  but  little  value,  and  require  a  considerable  period  to  regain 
their  natural  vigor.  When  removed  from  the  pots  or  glasses,  they  should  be 
immersed  in  water  for  a  week,  and  then  planted  in  a  soil  properly  prepared,  where 
they  will  usually  commence  flowering  again  the  second  year. 


DAHLIA,  OR  GEORGINA. 

Few  of  our  most  rustic  {>lants  exact  less  care  than  this  splendid  native  of 
Mexico.  Indeed,  so  simple  is  its  culture,  that  it  is  already  widely  disseminated 
in  every  part  of  Europe,  as  well  as  in  the  West  Indies,  South  America,  etc.,  in  all 
of  which  it  has  been  found  to  succeed.  It  will  thrive  in  any  good  soil,  but  as  is 
the  case  with  other  plants  held  in  great  estimation,  amateurs  bestow  more  care 
on  its  culture  than  is  absolutely  required,  and  have  adopted  particular  rules  for 
that  object.  The  roots  are  tuberous,  and  towards  the  last  of  April  they  begin  to 
push  out  young  shoots  at  the  base  of  the  stem  of  the  previous  year.  At  this 
period,  or  in  Mav,  they  should  be  planted ;  they  will,  however,  succeed  perfectly 
well  if  this  is  deferred  till  June,  but  will  not  come  so  soon  into  flowering.  Plants 
grown  in  pots  should  not  be  planted  until  the  frosts  have  entirely  subsided.  In 
England  they  usually,  from  choice,  plant  the  Dahlia  in  poor,  gravelly  soil,  m 
order  to  render  it  more  dwarf  in  stature,  and  this  course  may  have  its  advantage 
in  a  humid  atmosphere.  In  our  own  country,  however,  where  the  heat  of 
summer  is  excessive,  and  where  we  are  sometimes  visited  by  severe  drought,  the 
Dahlia  would  of^en  be  absolutely  blighted,  unless  the  soil  were  sufficiently  rich 
and  retentive  of  moisture.  When  planted  in  a  generous  soil,  our  climate  is  so 
extremely  congenial  to  its  habits,  that  it  expands  with  the  utmost  luxuriance, 
attaining  a  degree  of  beauty  in  its  development,  if  not  unequalled,  at  least  not  to 
be  surpassed. 

For  the  gratification  of  amateurs,  we  annually  plant  specimen  beds  covering 
two  to  three  acres,  comprising  all  the  rarest  varieties,  for  the  purpose  of  inspection 
and  selection.  It  will  be  perceived  that  our  collection  is  particularly  rich  in  the 
splendid  Variegated,  Mottled,  Spotted,  and  Shaded  varieties. 

The  course  we  have  adopted  for  its  culture,  although  extremely  simple,  has 
been  eminently  successful,  and  the  directions  we  shall  now  give  are  in  accordance 
therewith.  Make  the  ground  mellow  to  the  depth  of  eighteen  inches,  digging  in 
It  the  same  time  a  liberal  supply  of  manure.    Plant  the  dwarf  kiuds  at  three,  and. 


30 

the  tall  ones  at  four  feet  distant;  and  before  placing  the  roots,  dig  in  a  shovel 
full  of  manure  at  each  hole  destined  to  receive  them.  The  root  should  be 
placed  two  inches  beneath  the  surface— measuring  from  the  base  of  the  old  stem. 
Most  persons  allov^^  but  one  stalk  to  grow,  and  of  course  select  the  strongest — 
cutting  away  the  weaker  ones.  When  planted  along  a  walk  or  avenue,  a  triple 
range  presents  a  very  beautiful  appearance,  the  most  dwarf  being  selected  for  the 
first  row,  those  of  greater  stature  for  the  second,  and  the  tallest  for  the  third  row- 
indeed  this  manner  of  arrangement  may  be  extended  to  five  or  six  rows.  Another 
mode  is  to  plant  them  in  clumps,  either  circular,  square,  or  as  the  taste  may 
suggest,  the  tallest  varieties  being  stlected  for  the  centre.  In  either  of  these 
arrangements,  a  judicious  selection  of  the  various  colors  is  requisite,  in  order  to 
unite  to  their  brilliant  display,  the  advantage  of  a  tasteful  combination. 

When  the  plants  are  about  a  foot  high,  a  pole  should  be  placed  by  each,  pro- 
portioned to  the  usual  height  it  attains,  which  should  be  driven  into  the  ground 
about  a  foot  from  the  stalk,  so  as  not  to  interfere  v/ith  the  roots.  The  poles  or 
stakes  will  necessarily  vary  from  three  to  eight  feet  in  height  above  the  surface  ; 
and  to  be  firmly  placed,  should  penetrate  the  ground  from  twelve  to  eighteen 
inches.  Those  for  the  taller  plants  will  require  of  course  to  be  of  greater  thick- 
ness and  strength  than  such  as  are  designed  for  the  more  dwarf  varieties.  The 
work  of  driving  the  poles  may  be  more  easily  efi'ected  immediately  after  a  rain, 
when  the  ground  is  moist. 

As  the  plants  advance  in  growth,  it  will  become  necessary  to  tie  the  stalks 
firmly  to  the  poles  to  guard  against  the  effects  of  winds  and  storms.  For  this 
purpose,  conimon  bass  matting,  or  any  other  soft  ligature  is  to  be  preferred.  The 
branches,  being  extremely  brittle,  are  subject  to  be  broken  in  severe  gales  when 
not  supported.  Some  persons  train  their  Dahlias  on  a  ti-ellis,  which  affords 
security  to  every  branch,  and  presents  at  the  same  time  a  fine  effect.  It  is  only 
in  very  exposed  situations  that  the  extreme  caution  is  required  of  tying  every 
branch ;  and  in  cities  and  in  other  well  sheltered  locations  far  less  care  will 
suffice  in  this  respect.  It  is  deemed  beneficia.1  to  trim  oflf  the  lateral  shoots 
nearest  the  ground,  to  a  certain  height  in  proportion  to  the  growth  of  the  plant ; 
say  for  dwarfs  twelve  inches,  and  for  other  varieties  eighteen,  increasing  to 
twenty-four  inches  for  the  tallest.  Some  cultivators  thin  out  about  half  the 
number  of  upper  branches,  in  order  to  add  to  the  strength  of  the  remaining  ones, 
and  to  increase  the  size  and  beauty  of  the  flowers. 

Wintering  Dahlias.— As  soon  as  the  frost  has  killed  the  tops,  cut  them  off,  take 
up  the  roots,  and  dry  them  for  two  or  three  days  in  the  sun,  after  which  place 
them  on  shelves  in  a  cellar  perfectly  dry  and  free  from  frost,  or  ]>ack  them  in  dry 
sand,  where  they  may  remain  until  the  period  for  spring  planting.  Moisture  is 
destructive  to  them,  and  in  a  damp  cellar  or  room  they  are  very  liable  to  rot ; 
but  in  a  dry  one  not  a  single  root  will  be  injured,  if  kept  free  from  frost. 

Selection  and  Transportation. — When  the  selection  is  left  to  us,  such  an  assort- 
ment will  be  selected  as  will  present  a  pleasing  combination  of  color,  form, 
height^  etc.  When  packed  dry  for  transportation  from  September  to  May,  they 
occupy  so  little  space  that  a  great  number  may  be  comprised  in  a  small  compass, 
and  they  can  thus  be  transported  to  any  distance.
